<p>> It moves, show "emotions", comments when someone enter the room, uses the camera to see who entered the room and comment on that, make comments when my 3D printer finishes, things like that.<p>So basically you're using it as an AI mother in law, nice.</p>

<p>> could be understood as slightly hyperbolic<p>Of course, you're right. I didn't intend to criticise him.<p>I just think that it's not a good idea to transfer this megatrend to healthcare.<p>Yes, those systems can be highly accurate, but as we all have experienced, this is not a stable or consistent property. A very good model can give you an ingenious answer one minute and an utterly dumb one the next. My guess is that it's simply a consequence of the extremely high complexity of the 'plant' (natural language, language interfacing with the real world), leading to some highly non linear behaviour.</p>

<p>I thought exactly the same at first. But then i wondered if that still holds true with today's advanced thinking, RLHF involved, frontier models. I guess to a certain extend it did indeed behave better, as a reaction to his self description into account.<p>EDIT: I mean, those systems accumulated so much complexity around the attention based next token predictor.</p>

<p>Could someone explain to me, why rare books are so precious for them?<p>Say i feed the largest LLM a book of an alien civilisation, that it definitely hasn't seen before. Then this tiny piece of text muds the vast ocean (latent space) of the model minimally. It will not be able to cite from that book reliably after that fine tuning. Especially for rare books, because them being rare implies, that there aren't 1000s of other books, that encode the same information.<p>It's general language modelling capabilities might get an iota better, of course. But for putting factual information into it, wouldn't RAG be a much more solid approach?</p>

<p>Everybody knows that. You contact NASA. Then a black helicopter will pick you up, bring you to an airbase and fly you straight to the white house, where you will be introduced to the actual truth, while a team of very excited scientists with biohazard suits praise and examine the artefact. If you're still sceptical, they will take you to a large hidden hangar in the middle of the desert and show you around.</p>
